Subtle hints here and there
Do you think about it, do you care?
Subtle hints dropped on the floor
Do you do this anymore?

Subtle hints intertwined in your words
So subtle, I'm not sure of what I've heard
Subtle hints left to be found
So subtle, maybe they don't make a sound

Subtle hints scattered about
The subtility leaves me with doubt
Subtle hints creeping upon me
The subtility is binding, I cannot flee

I cannot shake what subtle hints imply
I'd rather you be clear
I cannot comprehend your gossamer cry
What are you trying to say dear?
Subtle hints confuse and I'm unsure of a lot and I'm probably looking into things too much. The joys of being a 17 year old girl everyone.

Whereabouts
Jake Hodges Nov 2013
Born into this everlasting revolve with few unenthused slowing halts to greet us,
We float into the unknown, knowing only what welcomes itself
We try to dominate through and make our presence known
Only to be cut short by the revolve and the things which inhabit it
To serve as a reminder of just how small we truly are

But we repeat with the most subtle of changes
bUt we repeat with the most subtle of changes
buT we repeat with the most subtle of changes
but We repeat with the most subtle of changes
but wE repeat with the most subtle of changes
but we Repeat with the most subtle of changes
but we rEpeat with the most subtle of changes
but we rePeat with the most subtle of changes
but we repEat with the most subtle of changes
but we repeAt with the most subtle of changes
but we repeaT with the most subtle of changes, until anything at all makes sense

And so onward we chase up hills and into the sky
Until our whereabouts are known, at least in our own minds
"Whereabouts" is a short write that will soon be used as the basis of composition for an unaccompanied alto saxophone piece.
